Nets opened at 0500 and closed at 1100 with 23 new birds caught.

Afternoon was spent measuring up to replace boardwalks, putting notices in Norrhamn about open guidings and putting up signs around the netting area to let the public know about our activities.

There will be three at the Obs overnight; Chris, Kay & Lasse.
